John Hall Family
Rebecca Hall
Not a lot is know about the Hall family yet. But thanks to other family members doing some of their own research, I think we'll be able to get some more information on this page soon.
John D. Hall and his wife Melisa were both born in New York where most of their children (if not all of them) were born. They moved to Sparta, Wisconsin prior to 1860 and so were included in the federal census. Their household included:
John D. Hall age 33
Melisa Hall age 33
Lifelet Hall age 12
Rebecca Hall age 9
Mary Hall age 6
Maria Hall age 24
Darling Hall age 5
Alta Hall age 3

Interestingly, there appears to be two families living in the same household during that time. Maria Hall--who must be a sister-in-law to John--and her two children. I am only guessing at this based on how they are listed.
Our ancestor-Rebecca J. Hall was born in 1850 in New York. She was living in August, WI at the time of her marriage on July 11, 1869 in Otter Creek, Eau Claire Cty, WI to Charles E. Bailey born September 20, 1844 in Lewis, Essex Cty, New York died November 12, 1905 in Eau Claire, Eau Claire Cty, WI. Rebecca died March 22, 1924 in Eau Claire, WI. (pics) Charles and Rebecca were Protestants and lived at E. Bluff St. Both are buried at Forest Hill Cemetery. Because the three eldest children were born in Sparta, Charles and Rebecca must have lived there for several years before moving to Eau Claire.
They had four children:
William Henry Bailey b: September 8, 1871 in Sparta, WI.
Russel(l) Claude Bailey b: January 2, 1879 in Sparta, WI
John "Jack" R. Bailey b: 3/11/1887 in Sparta, WI.
Lyda M. Bailey b: December 4, 1888 in WI
